Mad or predcient?
That idea is in fact close to Jone's vision. “If we succeed in our mission,” she says. “cryonics will become a process carried out in hospitals by medical staff for much shorter times.”
That in itself is a change from the early days, when cryonicists more often aspired to immortality, not just more life. In addition, the demographics are changing. Formerly, most cronicists were young, male and geeky. now, Alcor gets whole families.
The important unknown is: Can a cryosuspended brain, warmed and revived, retain the memories and personality of its owner? Until this is proven―in a dog, if not a human―cryonicists don't know if they're mad or prescient. How long before we know?
Best says: “I think within 30 years we'll see a successful revival, but the people revival then would be cryopreserved 30 years from now.” Last in, first out: the earliest patients to be cryopreserved suffered the worst damege. James Bedford, who in 1967 became the first person ever to be cryonically suspended and who is now at Alcor, was barely perfused at all. “For the people being cryopreserved now, under the best conditions, my guess is 50 to 100 years.” Given the current rate of medical progress and research into nanotechnology, says Jones: “If we haven't done it in 100 years, it's not going to work.”
